If you’re searching for someone who will change your life, take a look in the mirror.
Have you ever loved someone but in the end you got hurt and wasn't able to pick yourself up? Have you ever doubted your worth?
Love is an intangible connection that feels exceptionally good. It is a powerful feeling that drives a man to his full limit. The truth is, it can either help you build yourself to become a better person or destroy you completely like one of the shattered pieces of broken glass.
External love is indeed great, that it gives you the affirmation of being worthy to someone but when you always rely on a person, it can cause huge damage. So, you should love yourself first before loving someone else.
Maybe, the reason why you were unable to pick yourself up after a breakup is that you invest everything to that person, that you left nothing for yourself. Another reason also as to why you settled for less is because you don’t see your worth and it made you doubt yourself. According to Kerri-Anne Brown, a licensed Mental Health Counselor, “Self-love is important for numerous reasons. It has a profound impact on how we see ourselves and how we treat ourselves.”
Self-love helps you more than you imagine. It can greatly help your mental health because when you love yourself, you start to acknowledge your worth, you start to accept yourself, you start to care for yourself more, and you will be able to protect yourself from a toxic relationship. Self-love basically tells us to give some for ourselves instead of giving everything all to someone else.
Once you learn to love yourself, you gain self-awareness. You now know how to bring out the best version of yourself. Once you eliminate the negativity in your life, you will shine brighter than you ever did before.
